Have you actually checked the sector gear engagement with the piston teeth? Removing some material off the third tooth as well is not unheard of.
Also another thing to try, put the compression parts and gearset in, leave the spring and spring guide out and close the 2 halves up, move the piston back and forth with your finger, make sure it can move freely without obstruction. Piston rails in the shell are sometimes a little beefy and causes the piston to jam.
You have access to any bigger/juicier batteries (like a Lipo) you can test with? I'm thinking these mini batteries are holding you back.
And +1 on switching to deans.

I tested the piston, and it seems to be fine. It looks like it jams up on the last two gears but I think that's just cause of it lying on its side and contacting the 'open' sides of the shell.
The piston rails seem to be just fine as well...
So any ideas so far as to why my piston head cracked?
I don't have anything more powerful than a 9.6v 1600mah NiMH at the moment, nor do I have enough connectors to turn it to deans, but I guess that means I'll have to place yet another order with you, Jugglez.
